Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In situ measurements of temperature, pressure, vibration, and strain in high-temperature environments are of ever-growing importance in diverse fields, such as aerospace, high-energy physics experiments, nuclear industry, chemical industry, etc. To date, the working temperature of high-temperature sensors cannot meet the requirements of some industrial occasions. The main factors limiting the upper working temperature of high-temperature sensors include sensing principles and materials, thermal-matching manufacture and signal transmission, etc.
This Special Issue will focus on cutting-edge developments and trends in various high-temperature sensors based on novel mechanisms and principles, intelligent design and manufacture, new material exploration, and efficient applications and validations. We warmly invite you to submit original research, communications, and review articles to provide valuable insights into the current status and future outlook.

Potential topics include:

  • High-temperature sensors
  • Temperature, pressure, vibration, strain sensors
  • MEMS, laser, 3D-printing manufacture
  • Micro/nano sensors and equipment
  • Optical, electrical, magnetic sensing mechanism
  • Signal processing, algorithm and integration
  • Applications of high-temperature sensors

Employing a combination of Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) thermoforming and 3D-printed cylindrical patterns, we carefully engineer a linear resistive temperature sensor. This intricate process involves initial PET thermoforming, yielding a hollow cylindrical chamber. This chamber is then precisely infused with a composite fluid of graphite and water glue. Ensuring electrical connectivity, both ends are affixed with metal wires and securely sealed using a hot gun. This cost-effective, versatile sensor adeptly gauges temperature shifts by assessing composite fluid resistance alterations. Its PET outer surface grants immunity to water and solubility concerns, enabling application in aquatic and aerial settings without extra encapsulation. Rigorous testing reveals the sensor’s linearity and stability within a 10 °C to 60 °C range, whether submerged or airborne. Beyond 65 °C, plastic deformation arises. To mitigate hysteresis, a 58 °C operational limit is recommended. Examining fluidic composite width and length effects, we ascertain a 12 Ω/°C sensitivity for these linear sensors, a hallmark of their precision. Impressive response and recovery times of 4 and 8 s, respectively, highlight their efficiency. These findings endorse thermoforming’s potential for fabricating advanced temperature sensors. This cost-effective approach’s adaptability underscores its viability for diverse applications. Full article

In this paper, a fiber-optic Fabry–Perot (F–P) vibration sensor that can work at 800 °C is proposed. The F–P interferometer is composed of an upper surface of inertial mass placed parallel to the end face of the optical fiber. The sensor was prepared by ultraviolet-laser ablation and three-layer direct-bonding technology. Theoretically, the sensor has a sensitivity of 0.883 nm/g and a resonant frequency of 20.911 kHz. The experimental results show that the sensitivity of the sensor is 0.876 nm/g in the range of 2 g to 20 g at an operating frequency of 200 Hz at 20 °C. The nonlinearity was evaluated from 20 °C to 800 °C with a nonlinear error of 0.87%. In addition, the z-axis sensitivity of the sensor was 25 times higher than that of the x-axis and y-axis. The vibration sensor will have wide high-temperature engineering-application prospects. Full article

This paper proposes a fiber optic Fabry-Perot (F-P) strain sensing system using non-scan correlation demodulation applied to the health monitoring of the pressurized water reactor’s fuel assembly structures. The structural design and sensing mechanism analysis of the sensor were carried out, and the strain transfer model from the fuel sheet to the strain gauge was established. After the sensor fabrication and installation, the static tests have been conducted, and the results indicate that the sensing system can accurately measure the microstrain with a sensitivity of up to 12.6 nm/με at a high temperature (300 °C). The dynamic testing shows that the sensing system has a good frequency adaptation at 10–500 Hz. Thermal-hydraulic experiments show that the sensing system can run stably in a nuclear reactor, with high temperature, high pressure, and high-velocity flow flushing; additionally, the consistency deviation of the measured data is less than 1.5%.
